Outlander delivered a crushing blow to leading lady Claire ( Caitriona Balfe) in the latest installment, “Brotherly Love,” as Lord John Grey ( David Berry) informed her that Jamie’s ( Sam Heughan) ship to America had seemingly sunk without any survivors.

Outlander star Caitriona Balfe has been at the centre of the hit time-travelling drama since it first premiered on Starz in 2014 - but what do we know about the actress away from the cameras?

When we last saw 18th-century Scottish soldier Jamie (Sam Heughan) and his 20th-century-born wife Claire (Caitriona Balfe), they had left the American Revolutionary War behind them to travel back to Scotland and return Jamie’s late uncle Simon (Angus Macfadyen) to homeland soil after he died in battle.
